About Lenhart Obenshain

Our Firm is committed to providing value-added legal services to businesses, investment ventures, their owners and investors, and individuals. Neither boutique nor behemoth, Lenhart Obenshain strives to provide big-firm legal expertise and practical advice in a client-centric, entrepreneurial environment. We currently have two offices in Harrisonburg and Charlottesville, Virginia.

Our Commitment

Our Firm is committed to the efficient and timely delivery of excellent legal representation and sophisticated consulting and transactional services to businesses and their owners located throughout Virginia, West Virginia and beyond.

Experience and Investment

We believe our fulfillment of this commitment depends upon the collective experience, talent and responsiveness of our professionals, and our investment in technology, information, staff and office locations. Our Firm has no preconceived notions about an optimum law firm size or growth rate, but is committed to controlled growth which makes us more valuable and responsive to our clients. Both our strategy and success are by-products of our clients’ needs.

Our Value

Our attorneys, whether assisting our clients with planning, a transaction or litigation, help our clients create, grow, enjoy and protect their businesses, investments and assets. Our attorneys develop long-term relationships with our clients by listening, helping our clients plan and assisting them through significant events, controversies and transactions. We strive to bring up-to-date knowledge, technical precision and quality to the representation of our clients. We are counselors to our clients and closers for their transactions. We are focused on our clients’ businesses and needs rather than macro-economic views of what legal practice areas and operating strategies may be the most profitable for us. We have extensive experience in advising businesses in a variety of industries in all aspects of business planning, including formations, debt and equity financings, employee relations and benefits, mergers and acquisitions, tax, securities and intellectual property planning, owner disputes, workouts and reorganizations. In coordination with this business planning, we also represent business owners and executives in connection with their tax, estate and family planning.

Our Clients’ Needs

Our clients and their property are located, and transactions and events affecting them occur, throughout Virginia, West Virginia, the U.S. and the world. Regardless of the size of a client’s wealth or company, their business and investment activities and goals create complex legal needs, risks and opportunities. Our clients place a high value on creative and cost-effective solutions. Our practice specialties and office locations reflect the needs of our clients and will constantly evolve to meet those needs.

Our Response to Client Needs

To serve our clients effectively and efficiently, we intend to be neither a narrowly-focused “boutique” nor a large “full-service” law firm. Our clients hire us for our judgment and experience. We are gatekeepers and trusted counselors for them, and if we do not possess a particular service or expertise within our Firm, they expect and trust us to find it for them. We strive to be the equivalent of in-house counsel to our clients.
